'Indian scriptures say there are three kinds of diseases: aadi, vyaadhi and upadhi (physical, mental and those that accompany titles).



The message is clear: avoid the anguish and trauma that comes with office. The entire concluding chapter of the Bhagavad Gita is devoted to the importance of renunciation.



Not surprisingly, renunciation is a much-heralded virtue in Indian heroes, mythological and historical, from Rama refusing to revolt against his father, despite a guilt-ridden Dashratha urging him to do so, and going into exile for 14 years to Mauryan emperor Chandragupta becoming a Jain monk.
